Some Throwback Swirl:
Former Boxer Convicted For Dating And Marrying White Women Is Seeking Pardon From President Obama

President Obama has made clear he’ll only consider pardons for the living, but two old amateur fighters are trying again to get one for the late Jack Johnson – the first black heavyweight champ.
“They can do it if they want to,” Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.) said Monday of the push to erase Johnson’s conviction for dating and marrying white women. King and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who boxed in the Navy, will introduce another resolution to pardon Johnson, similar to the one that passed both houses last year.
But the Justice Department wouldn’t give Johnson a break, saying pardons should be reserved for people “who can benefit” from them – meaning the living. “I don’t care what the policy is,” said Democratic Rep. Charles Rangel of Harlem, where Johnson once owned a nightclub that became the famed Cotton Club.
“It would be a great thing to do,” Rangel added, to pardon Johnson for his 1913 conviction by an all-white jury for transporting women across state lines for “immoral purposes.”

It will be one of the last things BHO does in 2016.
 
Jack Johnson had some major balls .He beat the shit out of white men,fucked hundreds of white women, flaunted his money,cars and tailor made suits with the ego and arrogance to match any man on planet during the early 1900's. Major bad ass in my opinion

He was also fluent in several languages and didn't talk anything like the character in the 'Great White Hope'.
 
Check out the You Tube piece on his speech before conducting the Tiger Rag. I had mentioned Jack Johnson many times and I wished he will get that pardon.

Yep, I agree. This is the world we live in though, we've got to deal with this reality. We can only hope that the future increase in diversity means there's an increase in racial tolerance.
